I am facing a problem about kernel module loading order.

I am using Proxmox VE 4.1 (Debian 8.1) and root on ZFS mode. I have a OCZ Rev350 NVMe PCIe SSD need to configure as ZIL and cache. However OCZ NVMe has its module called oczpcie and it loads after ZFS module is loaded, so therefore, everytime system reboot, it will failed to load can complained that the system cannot find ZIL.

Code:
    9.945469] zavl: module license 'CDDL' taints kernel.

[   19.462569]  oczpcie_10_0_ssd: oczpcie_10_0_ssd1 oczpcie_10_0_ssd2
I checked dmesg and found out that oczpcie loads after ZFS module. How do I force it to load before ZFS?

use Ubuntu Manpage: modules.dep — List of module dependencies modules.dep?
