Hello Jakub,
patches LGTM, I have just a little problem with 3rd patch - actually I 
think that the man page describes what really happens - this is form my 
sss_pam.log:

(Thu Dec 11 18:35:21 2014) [sssd[pam]] [sss_process_init] (0x0400): 
Responder Initialization complete
(Thu Dec 11 18:35:21 2014) [sssd[pam]] [sss_user_by_name_or_uid] 
(0x0040): [xxxxxxxxx] is neither a valid UID nor a user name which could 
be resolved by getpwnam().
(Thu Dec 11 18:35:21 2014) [sssd[pam]] [csv_string_to_uid_array] 
(0x0040): List item [xxxxxxxxx] is neither a valid UID nor a user name 
which could be resolved by getpwnam().
(Thu Dec 11 18:35:21 2014) [sssd[pam]] [get_trusted_uids] (0x0010): 
Failed to set allowed UIDs.
(Thu Dec 11 18:35:21 2014) [sssd[pam]] [pam_process_init] (0x0010): 
get_trusted_uids failed: 22:[Invalid argument].
(Thu Dec 11 18:35:21 2014) [sssd[pam]] [sss_responder_ctx_destructor] 
(0x0400): Responder is being shut down
