I think if KVM is not installed, the module should not be loaded. Or at least, they should not be loaded by default. Those who want to use KVM will load them.
I have too the problem with Jaunty and VirtualBox (either the OSE one - v2.1.4 - in the Ubuntu repositories or the Sun deb one - v2.2.2).
For me the workaround was to remove first kvm_intel, then kvm (in this order).
