/etc/sysconfig/modules/* is preferred for loading modules, and
/etc/rc.local is preferred for starting local services.
For some modules (such as this one), it doesn't really matter which way
you go. The difference is, scripts /etc/sysconfig/modules/* are run early
in the init process (so modules are available for services in /etc/init.d
that need them) and /etc/rc.local is run at the very end (so things that
rely on services can know they are already running).
