The megaraid_sas driver in the current linux-2.6 (stable) git tree has support for this adapter, the LSI SAS2 "SKINNY." I've cherrypicked the updated driver into the latest Lucid kernel and uploaded to this PPA:

I'll try to keep the PPA kernel up-to-date, but I can't make any guarantees.
Also, I'm netbooting to install, so I'm adding the newer scsi-modules udeb to the initrd like so:
