Module option, like Greg said. Either in /etc/modprobe.conf or
/etc/modprobe.d/<something>.conf, typically.

No. You want only one LIRCD_OPTS line there. The first one should be
correct, since you see /dev/lirc0. Could be that device is getting
overridden to /dev/lirc, and since it doesn't exist, lircd is just
sitting there waiting for the device to show up. With luck, once you
fix that, irw should start showing you some feedback.
