To build the ipvs within the kernel, you need do the following commands:
        cd /usr/src/linux
        cat <path-name>/linux_kernel_ksyms_c.diff | patch -p1
        cat <path-name>/linux_net_netsyms_c.diff | patch -p1
        cat <path-name>/linux_net_Makefile.diff | patch -p1
        cat <path-name>/linux_net_ipv4_Config_in.diff | patch -p1
        cat <path-name>/linux_ip_fw_compat_c.diff | patch -p1
        cp -rp <path-name>/ipvs net/ipv4
        mv net/ipv4/ipvs/linux_net_ipv4_ipvs_Makefile net/ipv4/ipvs/Makefile
        make menuconfig


What you did is the "module only" way. RTFR (README) :)
