Execute in place

I seem to remember seeing some patches go by at some point that allowed one of the rom type embeded system filesystems to directly execute binaries out of the original rom memory rather than copying them to ram first, then executing from there. I was wondering if rootfs or tmpfs support such execute in place today, or if binaries executed from there have their code segments duplicated in ram?
