All these drivers are in-kernel, and the root device is passed via
command line. There is no userland at that point, that needs to wait.
ok fair; but that does not change that the kernel does not know if a
device is coming.
Yes that sucks; sadly USB is just this way, you don't know when no new
devices will come from a certain bus.
Perhaps -- but I can say that kernels <= 2.6.27 booted with 100%
reliability.
Now, Kernels >= 2.6.28 always fail.
The ONLY variable is the kernel.
