I have heard (but not verified) the following 

o the badram patches are in the kernel

o you can patch newer kernels with old patches

o other people have made patches for the newer kernels 
(and you might be able to find them with google)

Clearly not all of these can be true, so maybe none of them are true. 
It would be worth at least trying an old patch on a new kernel
