If i just copy fusion directory from previous kernel it works.
Most probably changes what trigger that is (just diff between kernels):


+static void
+mpt_add_sge_64bit(void *pAddr, u32 flagslength, dma_addr_t dma_addr)
+{
+       SGESimple64_t *pSge = (SGESimple64_t *) pAddr;
+       pSge->Address.Low = cpu_to_le32
+                       (lower_32_bits((unsigned long)(dma_addr)));
+       pSge->Address.High = cpu_to_le32
+                       (upper_32_bits((unsigned long)dma_addr));
+       pSge->FlagsLength = cpu_to_le32
+                       ((flagslength | MPT_SGE_FLAGS_64_BIT_ADDRESSING));
+}

-       } else {
-               SGESimple32_t *pSge = (SGESimple32_t *) pAddr;
-               pSge->FlagsLength = cpu_to_le32(flagslength);
-               pSge->Address = cpu_to_le32(dma_addr);
+/**
+ *     mpt_add_sge_64bit_1078 - Place a simple 64 bit SGE at address pAddr
(1078 workaround).
+ *     @pAddr: virtual address for SGE
+ *     @flagslength: SGE flags and data transfer length
+ *     @dma_addr: Physical address
+ *
+ *     This routine places a MPT request frame back on the MPT adapter's
+ *     FreeQ.
+ **/
+static void
+mpt_add_sge_64bit_1078(void *pAddr, u32 flagslength, dma_addr_t dma_addr)
+{
+       SGESimple64_t *pSge = (SGESimple64_t *) pAddr;
+       u32 tmp;
+
+       pSge->Address.Low = cpu_to_le32
+                       (lower_32_bits((unsigned long)(dma_addr)));
+       tmp = (u32)(upper_32_bits((unsigned long)dma_addr));
+

Following patch in upstream (but not in latest stable kernel) seems fixing my
issue. Probably it must be pushed to stable kernels?

commit  c55b89fba9872ebcd5ac15cdfdad29ffb89329f0

[SCSI] mptsas : PAE Kernel more than 4 GB kernel panic

This patch is solving problem for PAE kernel DMA operation.
On PAE system dma_addr and unsigned long will have different
values.
Now dma_addr is not type casted using unsigned long.
