In the REALLY old days of data-less workstations, /usr/kernel wouldn't be loaded until after NFS was up and running. These days, I don't think /usr/kernel is included as part of the boot archive for grub, so if you module needs to be loaded prior to the root filesystem being up and running, I think you need to include it in /kernel. I'm not 100% sure about this, and look forward to be confirmed, denied, and/or educated.
