Makes sense, but see below.

I don't think it would be a good idea to play with the module mutex
lock here or calling find_module(). This is something that no other driver
does (well, except for FB DRM driver, that dynamically loads a module
if not found).

Perhaps we could use some simpler logic, like storing some value if lirc
got loaded or not (worse case, we might use a static atomic var at rc core).
