So I apparently missed two most important differences between good and bad
boots.

pata-acpi doesn't play very well with this controller. Disabling it in
kernel and rebooting (even with 3.8) provided completely working kernel.
So either this driver shouldn't bind pata-acpi and leave it on pata-atiixp
as before (some kind of blacklisting needed?), or it needs some fixing to
work nicely with this controller.

As a workaround for now, I'll just not compile PATA_ACPI into the kernel.
