Guys,

   Reading the wiki pages regarding /etc/modules-load.d and /etc/modprobe.d, 
is the only difference that makes /etc/modules-load.d to correct place for the 
<moduleconfname>.conf file a lack of options required on module load?

   Or put another way, if options need to be provided along with the module 
name on load, then use

   /etc/modprobe.d/<moduleconfname>.conf

otherwise if just the module name is required, use:

   /etc/modules-load.d/<moduleconfname>.conf?

   That was the only difference I saw in their use in the wiki. Anything else?
