Like mxb pointed out, it's just a normal disk to OpenBSD. So don't
expect any "special" SSD support (for example TRIM command).
I own a netbook with an Intel 320 SSD which runs 5.1 (will soon upgrade)
and so far I didn't experienced any problems.

I don't think that this will solve your problems.
Have you tried 'apmd -C'? Your dmesg says:

So it should be at least worth a try.
If you are running Xorg, you could also set some options for the radeon
driver in your xorg.conf, for example:
Option "ClockGating" "on"
Option "ForceLowPowerMode" "on"
Option "DynamicPM" "on"
See radeon(4) for more information.
