Pass --with-patched-kernel to configure, which means "use kvm modules that come 
with the kernel" (and no external modules).

 From http://kvm.qumranet.com/kvmwiki/HOWTO1 [Unpacking and configuring kvm 
components]:
   tar xzf kvm-release.tar.gz
   cd kvm-release
   ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/kvm --with-patched-kernel
   make
   sudo make install
   sudo /sbin/modprobe kvm-intel
   # or: sudo /sbin/modprobe kvm-amd
