If the saa7134 driver is making direct calls into that module, then that 
module will be locked into memory until saa7134 is unloaded first.  
However given the purpose for ir_kbd_i2c, I'm a little unclear on why 
any direct calls would be needed at all (said of course without looking 
at either piece of code...).
