Well, can then anyone explain by which mean (black magic?) kernel
mounts root file system? block device might appear any time, file system
might take ages to load.

Hu? How is init/do_mounts.c still works then? Or it is needs to be
fixed with messages a-la "root file system will be available shortly, we
do hope" and "please plug in again your hard-wired IDE drive"?

People, you must learn doing abstractions carefully. If device is
hard-wired - user *will* expect (as kernel itself does) that it is
available all the time after modprobe'ing driver.
