Every time I start, I have to manually do "sudo modprobe -r kvm-intel" for VirtualBox to be able to use hardware virtualization facilities. How do I get rid of this?

Blacklist the offending kernel module:
vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
Add a line such as "blacklist kvm-intel"
This is assuming that VirtualBox doesn't want to use the kernel module either.

/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.confwill mean you have to deal with conflicts whenever Debian/Ubuntu update their blacklist - better to keep it in a separate file to avoid having to merge the changes each time you upgrade packages etc.– JamesJul 20, 2010 at 21:23
echo "blacklist kvm-intel" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-local.conf

Thanks for the tip. It seems that a new line is required at the end of the file in order to get this to work for me (Ubuntu server 12.04) Aug 9, 2012 at 11:54
