stylistic:
s/For eg/E.g./ or
s/For eg/For example/
semantically:
It makes much more sense to name how many occurrences of this pattern
exist in the kernel tree within how many files in order to get a good
impression on the use of that pattern within the kernel tree.

Drop the example and turn the two sentences above into one.

Could you put the common expression parts into meaningful variables to
avoid repeating yourself in the two pattern matching expressions?
Other than that, it looks good to me.
