It's used on Book-E powerpc* in some cases (and the bootloader is compiled and installed there by default on powerpc*) but it's a regular directory. I don't believe there's any custom behavior to treat it as a mount point because setting up booting is a machine specific thing in this case, and the user is expected to do something like copy it to the boot server or a partition on the bootstrap media.

For example, on the X5000, the boot firmware is stored on an onboard SD card that has space left to install loaders and stuff, but this is something that is set up by hand.
