Why would you want to do that?

Well, you'll improve performance just due to RAM being faster then disk.
You'll want to create the RAM disk first;
# mkdir /tmp/ramd
# chmod 777 /tmp/ramd
# mount -t tmpfs -o size=512M tmpfs /tmp/ramd/
(be sure to add it to fstab as well)
Then modify your PHP.ini;
session.save_path="/tmp/ramd"

Getting from Provider new Hardware Servers to be tested bevor replace existing root Servers and nowadays they come with 64Gig Ram & SSD drive, therefor I like to use on on side the RAM as best for performance and reduce writing to SSD.

under ubuntu /tmp it is already foreseen to be moved to tmpfs "systemctl enable tmp.mount"
so your idea is to change the session.save_php path settings per php Version/handler - any expirince what happens when Plesk update/upgrade the Versions?
