Both are needed. At first you have to patch the kernel with the two patches
(explained in the readme).
After that you have the option to patch lvs into the kernel (3 additional
patches + copying sources to kernel tree) OR just build the modules in the
ipvs/-directory and insmod them.

The thing is: lvs needs those 2 patches before everything else.
