Today I did a few tests more, and finally got best results with KMS
enabled. Now I have working X server with DRI2, 3D acceleration and
really fast switching between VTs and X desktop. 3D performance is worse
than it was before with DRI, but I have no issues when powering down
(previously was: red&white artifacts, system hangs) and didn't
experience either black screen or high CPU usage after startup :)

You can easy test KVM without restarting, just stop gdm and reload
radeon driver with option modeset=1, then start gdm again.

   sudo stop gdm
   sudo modprobe -r radeon
   sudo modprobe radeon modeset=1
   sudo start gdm

To enable KVM automatically I use modified Cyril's method (just added 
modeset=1):
    ...
    initctl emit starting-dm DM=gdm

# 3D acceleration FIX: re-init of radeon driver (should be loaded AFTER agpgart 
kernel module); enable KVM
    modprobe -r radeon ; modprobe radeon modeset=1

    exec gdm-binary $CONFIG_FILE

-- 
Radeon module loaded before agpgart
