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.
