See Documentation/SubmittingPatches in your kernel source tree.
If the new HW is intended to work with a distro (e.g., Redhat, SuSe,
Debian, Ubuntu, et al)
you will need to contact each distro and submit a patch in a similar
fashion to them.

The following simplified answer should work for most distro's but
unlikely to work 100% of the time:
sudo make modules_install
sudo make install
sudo reboot
Then interrupt the boot loader (likely grub) to select your kernel.
And given the nature of your questions, I suggest you visit
kttp://kernelnewbies.org .
