I doubt a kernel for the 8650 would boot on the 8750. The devices are
most likely not compatible.
The 8750 is ARMv6 compatible, while the 8650 is only ARMv5 compatible.
The 8750 is certainly much nicer as a result. Too bad it isn't ARMv7
compatible, since I believe that is the minimum needed for the armhf port.
