Another possibility would be modprobing from /etc/rc.sysinit, like it is
done for the ACPI modules, see lines 172 - 177. Of course, if you have a
dedicated init script for a specific service, then modprobing inside
this specific script like the in this thread mentioned
/etc/init.d/cpudynd would be best.
