So without this patch DT migration for Nokia N900 cannot be done 
without breaking userspace - which is not acceptable...

I guess the fact is that the Nokia N900 proprietary userspace has
never worked properly with the mainline kernel without severe patching,
so you cannot really talk about any regression. If you cannot fix
those programs, you could still probably emulate the old Nokia kernel's
/proc/cpuinfo by providing some text file and bind mounting it, no?

Actually, yes, it worked pretty well with some close-to-mainline
kernels.

And bind-mount on /proc/cpuinfo is beyond ugly, don't you think?
