Your design 1 looks very interesting. I don't think your designs would 
support banded and packed matrices, or would it? (see the last pages of 
"Legacy BLAS: C Interface to the Legacy BLAS" at 
http://www.netlib.org/blas/blast-forum/)

I could not think of anything why your design 1 would not work for me. 
The index mapping is particularly elegant!
