I'm sorry, perhaps I wasn't clear, not the kernel boot parameters,
but the kernel parameters in the 'make menuconfig' part
of configuring a kernel.

each option has helptext associated with it.  iirc, in menuconfig,
you press ?  to access it.  or maybe it's `h'.  i don't use menuconfig
myself any more.

Select the "Help" option in menuconfig for a description of the option 
currently highlighted. As for a detailed description you would have to 
read the source code or browse the Documentation directory in the kernel 
sources.
