How do I configure that?

I have:
  ? ?<*> 8250/16550 and compatible serial support                         ? ?
  ? ?[*]   Console on 8250/16550 and compatible serial port               ? ?
  ? ?<*>   8250/16550 PCI device support                                  ? ?
  ? ?<*>   8250/16550 PNP device support                                  ? ?
  ? ?< >   8250/16550 PCMCIA device support                               ? ?
  ? ?(4)   Maximum number of 8250/16550 serial ports                      ? ?
  ? ?(4)   Number of 8250/16550 serial ports to register at runtime       ? ?
  ? ?[*]   Extended 8250/16550 serial driver options                      ? ?
  ? ?[ ]     Support more than 4 legacy serial ports (NEW)                ? ?
  ? ?[ ]     Support for sharing serial interrupts (NEW)                  ? ?
  ? ?[ ]     Autodetect IRQ on standard ports (unsafe) (NEW)              ? ?
  ? ?[ ]     Support RSA serial ports (NEW)                               

(drivers compiled in since I want to use the serial console without
initrd).

The port in question is ttyS0.
