Solution #1 is a nice idea, but don't stop there. Some of us have these expensive ssd disks and they can take as much read and write as any harddrive. Some of us don't care about mounting to /tmp and/or ramdisk, but speed ! My idea is when you choose which disk you want to partition - you can mark it as an ssd disk. Underneath you can choose options like the powermanager; Performance or 'safety'(?) - mode. Default could be 'safety' mode at the time being as there is more of those ssd's around.

Dont bother users with things they dont understand. Apply safe tweaks like elevator=noop or noatime automatically for all SSD using whitelist and ask them ones if they prefer to loose logs with every shutdown or if they prefer to sync them on very shutdown, which results in much less writes and ssd stress.
