The closest thing is in the Linux source tree, linux/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt. That's pretty close, but because it's manually edited, it might not have exactly the latest available options. For any kernel modules with parameters, modinfo will tell you what they are and a brief description of each. I looked into doing the same for the kernel proper, but there wasn't a burning need for it, and it slipped to the bottom of my todo pile. One addition to the kernel that would be needed is akin to the MODULE_PARM_DESC() tags for kernel setup options that aren't modular; adding those everywhere would be a lot of work, but wouldn't be that hard, just tedious.
