Hi Sachin,
To make sure you're now going down the wrong path, please be advised
that the 'IDE' drivers are no longer under active development and
are getting replaced by the 'libata' subsystem. You should be looking
at drivers/ata/pata_sil680.c and possibly stat_sil*.c.
Also, note that 2.6.16 is very old and any work you invest there is
probably wasted, so look at the latest version 2.6.31 or 2.6.32.
