I don't believe there is an "add above" option any longer in 2.6 kernels (such 
as MDK10.1).  Check out Jarod's site for configuring FC3.  The section on 
setting up your modprobe.conf file (MDK may still use modules.conf in 10.1) 
should use the same syntax.  Make sure you look at the IVTV setup section of 
The Guide as well as the LIRC setup section.  That should answer all of your 
questions on syntax.

Personally, I use a slightly different setup that has a 
modified /etc/rc.d/init.d/lircd file that loads the LIRC modules on its own 
so that I can avoid tricks in the modprobe.conf to get them to load.  I can 
send you my daemon files if you want to try it that way.  HTH!
