On Fedora the intended way is create a file called
/etc/sysconfig/modules/lirc.modules containing the single line:

modprobe lirc-i2c

Give the file 700 permissions with root:root ownership, and reboot
with lircd enabled via chkconfig.

/etc/sysconfig/modules/*.modules files are read and executed at
startup before most services are started, so the LIRC modules should
be loaded before lircd starts.
