This code has been added with change
http://trac.webkit.org/projects/webkit/changeset/18635 when mac-only code was
made cross-platform.

Is it incorrect to expect Frame::loader()::load(url) to work when url is
file:// ? If yes, what is recommended way to load file:// url when all I have
is Frame?

Looking at canLoad() logic I see no justification for refusing loading file://
requests that don't have file:// referrer because it seems like a valid
scenario. How would I load that first file:// url?

I could fake the referrer just to satisfy canLoad(). This is what
FrameLoader::begin() seem to be doing by setting m_outgoingReferrer to the copy
of the url, but that doesn't sound like the right solution.
