If I get it right, there's no need for badram patch unless bad bytes are
spread all over the map. With a bit more manual effort one can use
memmap=exactmap parameter already present in current kernels.

A howto for 2.6.25 kernels:
http://groups.google.com/group/fa.linux.kernel/msg/d90e920265afafd8 .

In 2.6.24 one needs to look up the bios provided memory map from the
beginning of the dmesg output. Then convert the map to the memmap=
format and merge with the bad memory block(s) to be reserved.

And last but not least, if it's worth a couple of hundred dollars to
you, if you provide a financial incentive, someone might as well step up
and come up with something that'd serve your needs.
