Sir,
After looking closely the 8250.c is not a module. It is compiled into
the kernel.
What is the shortes method to compile that file and rebuild what is
needed to
get it running.
Thanks for your help.

copy&paste from the Fedora Core 4 release notes:
6.2.2.4. Building Only Kernel Modules
An exploded source tree is not required to build a kernel module, such
as your own device driver, against the currently in-use kernel.
For example, to build the foo.ko module, create the following Makefile
in the directory containing the foo.c file:
obj-m := foo.o
KDIR := /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build
PWD := $(shell pwd)
default:
$(MAKE) -C $(KDIR) M=$(PWD) modules
Issue the make command to build the foo.ko module.
