find |xargs grep.   Will run a lot faster because it runs one grep for several
hundred files, rather than one per file.  For bonus points, if you have
a git tree, 'find *' at the top level will run faster than 'find .', because
* will glob into something that doesn't incude .git so no traversal into
that section of the source tree.

git grep   works too, if you have a git tree like any serious kernel hacker.
