To be completely sure one would need to dig a bit around kernel sources but the https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=115559 patch appears to affect only radeon so recompiling only an affected module (or modules) and replacing originals should be fine. Kernel makefiles are set up to allow such selective recompilations. This is still a PITA to an extent as you would need to repeat such procedure for an every update of a yet unpatched kernel; but this can be variously "automated". For an example of one way to do such things you can look at 'akmod' packages from rpmfusion. Technically the same module _may_ work across different kernel versions but usually a recompilation is simpler and faster then checking if an old module will be still good enough.
