a) if you wish to load a module by the kernel code, use
request_module() API.

b) if you wish to load a module (+ all the modules it depends on) use
"modprobe module", assuming dependencies were correctly built by "depmod
-a" first.

c) if you wish to load a module when the kernel boots, before the root
filesystem is mounted, use initrd mechanism
