It has internal ram, rom, timers, counters, interrupt circuitry, io ports, analog comparators, serial. Another problem with the above code is, that it should not be called in code sections, where interrupts are disabled and should be kept disabled, because it will enable interrupts at the end.

An interrupt is essentially a hardware generated function call. Timer interrupt, serial interrupts, adcanalog to digital converters interrupt etc are examples of internal interrupts in atmega16. If you code assembler you can control what is saved and how it is saved. Placing a reti in each of those slots seems like a good idea if you dont care about handling those interrupts, since it just means return from the interrupt.
