The linux-image-kvm package is a stripped down kernel present by default only in the minimal images[1]. I will mark this bug for the linux-kvm package so that the kernel team can consider your request to add the IPIP module. In the interim you can install 'linux-image-generic' (or linux-image-virtual, if it is present) to use the IPIP module.
