Disabling KVM kernel extension


Hi,

I have a server with KVM Virtualization installed.
I have some problems with this and would want to test VirtualBox instead.
Virtualbox says I have to disable KVM kernel extension and recompile the kernel, before VirtualBox can run.

Is there an easy way of removing KVM temporarily ?
And how can I install it again later ?

Regards.
