I don't think "`objc_init()` time" is a widely-recognized concept.  How about:

  A non-lazy class will be initialized eagerly when the Objective-C runtime is loaded.  This is required for certain system classes which have instances allocated in non-standard ways, such as the classes for blocks and constant strings.  Adding this attribute is essentially equivalent to providing a trivial `+load` method but avoids the (fairly small) load-time overheads associated with defining and calling such a method.
