when the module is built by the kernel recipe you can use :
module_autoload and you can see somme usage examples here :
http://cgit.openembedded.org/meta-handheld/tree/conf/machine/palmtx.conf
http://cgit.openembedded.org/meta-handheld/tree/conf/machine/include/palm.inc

maybe you could get inspiration from kernel.bbclass to do the same
thing in your recipe.
