Maemo has contributed quite a few pieces of the N900 kernel upstream.
To name a few that I know:
 - OMAP framebuffer,
 - WL12xx WLAN adapter,
 - large parts of the OMAP base port,
 - UBI file system,
 - TWL4030 watchdog,
 - Si4713 FM transmitter,
 - Phonet stack and USB drivers,
 - parts of the USB gadget framework.

I am surely missing some pieces. Not that some of the N900-related 
contributions were merged upstream after the 2.6.28 kernel.
Obviously, there are also some parts which haven't been merged, or not yet.

We are still working on upstreaming the SSI port driver (the interface to the 
cellular modem) for instance.
