ok, the second attempt to answer my own question (the first one was slightly inaccurate). The stuff prepared by module_init() in non-module case is placing the pointer to the function in the __initcall list which is processed at a very well-defined place in init/main.c:do_initcalls():
initcall_t *call;
call = &__initcall_start; do { (*call)(); call++; } while (call < &__initcall_end);
Hopefully, now things are clear to everyone (including myself).
Regards, Tigran
