If you are using Emacs as your editor, you could use TAGS to locate 
definitions, etc.
This script may need editing:

##
# Build an ETAG file of the linux kernel sources.
ARCH=parisc

find arch/$ARCH drivers fs include/{asm-$ARCH,linux,net,scsi,video} \
      init ipc kernel lib mm net -name '*.[chS]' -print | sort | etags -
##

I used this quite a while ago, when I was writing a driver. You will 
need to consult the emacs manual on how to use tags.
