Mastery Key and RAM burn-in

Hi. I've read Gutmann's papers about how data held persistently in DRAM can cause physical "burn-in" that makes master encryption key recovery trivial. His suggestion was to makes sure it is re-written/moved around every few minutes. [1] loop-aes had such a mitigation implemented, though it unfortunately aids cold boot attack key recovery.[2] Does dm-crypt have mitigations for this in place?
