[opensuse-kernel] BadRAM patch for kernel

I had the need to go to the memtest86.com site to grab a copy of the
test to check the condition of my RAM and came across a patch for the
kernel which purports to use a feature of the kernel to map bad RAM
bytes and not use them thus avoiding the need to replace RAM (perhaps
unnecessarily). The patches do not go beyond kernel 2.6.x.
I was wondering if this patch is now automatically built-in into the kernel and patching the kernel is therefore no longer necessary (I am using kernel 3.2 for example)?
Anybody know the answer, please?
