the wiki explains kernel modules here:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel_modules

alternatively(though perhaps unecessary/ill-advised?) you could load the
module early by adding it to mkinitcpio.conf and rebuilding your kernel.
you can search "mkinitcpio, arch" for the arch wiki page on that.

good luck.
