If SSDs are smart devices, in future can they use some part of memory for journaling ? All writes go through this and in back ground the data is moved to final destination. This will have performance hit, but it shouldn't be that bad.

There are experimental object storage devices where the devices themselves house the file system logic. I'm not sure I would want one of those, I'd prefer the opposite: stupid flash memory connected to the bus. Things are generally easier to fix in software.
