Option 1 is a good idea, but it should still be called 2.2, as the entire underlying installer for x86 has been massively upgraded. 2.1.1 doesn't properly reflect this fact to users.
Just say that 2.2 is x86 only, and enhanced ia64 support is coming for 2.3. Many distros don't release non x86 support in every release cycle, so I think its ok that OSCAR does that for one release cycle.
