Suse does.  Noone else, to the best of my knowledge.

I know this is a highly requested feature.  It's unfortunately rather
complex to support in a sane way.  SYSLINUX code assumes pretty strongly
that its entire filestore is always accessible; that doesn't mean it
can't be dealt with (there are several ways to do it), but all pretty
much require significant restructuring of the SYSLINUX code.
