This is the place to go for how to build a kernel.

http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO.html

And here's some general kernel info

http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/KernelAnalysis-HOWTO.html

You will need to put the driver files in the directory
   <kernel_source_root_whereever>/drivers/usb/serial

and then do your:
   make modules
   make modules_install

assuming it is configured as a loadable module.
