Journaling directories instead of partitions

I wish filesystem journaling could be turned off (say, for /tmp) at the directory level instead of having to choose an entire partition. I don't want to choose how large to make /tmp, let it grow or shrink as needed.

Ditto for directory-level tuning of other filesystem performance parameters.

Update: LVM gets me most of what I want.
