You don't.  To quote ide.c:
 * ide_system_bus_speed() returns what we think is the system VESA/PCI
 * bus speed (in MHz).  This is used for calculating interface PIO timings.
 * The default is 40 for known PCI systems, 50 otherwise.
 * The "idebus=xx" parameter can be used to override this value.
 * The actual value to be used is computed/displayed the first time through.

In 99% of the cases idebus doesn't need to be changed.
