The options line in /etc/modules.conf (conf.modules is depreciated)
lists the same parameters to be passed to the modprobe command.  So
"man modprobe" to see what -k means.

       -k, --autoclean
              Set 'autoclean' on loaded  modules.   Used  by  the
              kernel  when it calls on modprobe to satify a miss-
              ing feature (supplied as a module).  The -q  option
              is implied by -k.  These options will automatically
              be sent to insmod.
