What I do is generate once per kernel tree a TAGS file per make TAGS (don't foret your usual ARCH=... CROSS_COMPILE=... variables in case you're cross-building, which you probably don't), then just open any source file (.c, .h) in emacs, press "ALT ." as usual, if it hasn't loaded TAGS yet, it'll ask you where to get them, you point it to the top level in your kernel, emacs will read tags in and jump to the first definition. To jump to the next one use "CTRL u" "ALT ." repeatedly. Notice, the make TAGS target has been significantly improved (fixed) since about 2.6.21 / 2.6.22 so that now you most often jump to struct's definition, instead of visiting all static instances of that struct first.
