 How about reflashing LSI firmware to the card? I read on Dell's spec

 sheets that the card runs an LSISAS2008 chip, so chances are that

 standard LSI firmware will work on it. I can send you all the 
 required

 bits to do the reflash, if you like.

 I got Dell Perc H310 controller for do-it-yourself experiments, I 
 tried to run it on non-Dell PC platforms like Asus P5Q and Foxconn G31MX.
 Without success.

 I will appreciate very much any hint how to get LSI firmware and 
 reflash Dell H310.
 
 
 I've successfully crossflashed Dell H200 cards with this method

PERC H200 are well behaved cards that are easy to reflash and work well (even 
in JBOD mode) on Illumos - they are essentially a LSI SAS 9211. If you can get 
them, they're one heck of a reliable beast, and cheap too!
