Well, using 
http://kb.lsi.com/KnowledgebaseArticle16414.aspx
I downgraded to version 8-fixed, and at least topology errors disappear.

Just booted successfully (errm, it was a few nervous hours, to be honest :)

Now I have in verbose kernel messages

mps0: <LSI SAS2008> port 0xc000-0xc0ff mem 
0xfb43c000-0xfb43ffff,0xfb440000-0xfb47ffff irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci2
mps0: Reserved 0x4000 bytes for rid 0x14 type 3 at 0xfb43c000

msi: routing MSI-X IRQ 256 to local APIC 0 vector 49
mps0: using IRQ 256 for MSI-X

mps0: [ITHREAD]


Will see whether it helps.
