My idea is different, buffers dedicated to a sole directory, or perhaps to a mount, that can not be repurposed by the kernel to serve some other disk activity. Thus the /tmp directory would act as if it was hosted on ram entirely, except when/if big files were written.
Call it an hybrid tmpfs perhaps, with persistence. With a configurable limit on ram used.
If you want /tmp in non-swappable memory, nothing is stopping you from using "ramfs" instead of "tmpfs".
