Marcin - I don't know the answer myself, but I don't think it would hurt to try! If you post a compiled blob or some instructions to patch and compile myself, I'm happy to report back with results.

Latest dmesg.boot: https://gist.github.com/agrajag9/cf6d203dc3730350182cb53ba5a8b999

The HBA came up as pci1 on pcib1 (line 105). And, as expected since it came up as a generic PCI device rather than MPR/MPS, the attached drive doesn't show up. And yes, I did confirm that mpr.ko and mps.ko are present in /boot/kernel/
