Thanks to:

Scott Mickey <mickey at denver.net>
<Steve.Starer at opco.com> (Who sent an unrelated reply, apparently responding to
some other message)
No one had a definitive answer here. Scott sent a lengthy message commenting on
the inadequate state of the Solaris 10 HCL, especially when compared to that for
Solaris 8.
I also posted this question to comp.unix.solaris, and had a couple of responses
suggesting that the 'aac' driver might support this controller, but, again,
nothing definitive.
Dell themselves, however, told me they do not certify this controller with any
Solaris, only with RedHat.
So, the boss gets his way.
