looks like you don't.

you are allowed to do what you want. But as stated before, grep does not have to be on the right side of the pipe if all you want is greping through a text file

grep <something> <text file> 

will be the simplest. 

On the other hand, "less" is often used on the right side of the pipe. e.g.:

grep <something> <some long text file> | less

you can replace the default you have, which is "quiet", by "quiet threadirqs" in the grub config file.
