So far only in code in systemd and dracut and the SUSE mkinitrd. It's just a plain directory udev uses like /dev/.udev/ was. Udev itself does not know anything about it. Old initramfs and init will just not care, and udev just has a new directory with that name to put its stuff into. If modern initramfs and init are used, it is a tmpfs mountpoint that will be the same as /var/run/.
