You are right. The header of the file says:

" The following is a consolidated list of the kernel parameters as
implemented (mostly) by the __setup() macro and sorted into English
Dictionary order (defined as ignoring all punctuation and sorting digits
before letters in a case insensitive manner), and with descriptions
where known."

Changes since v2:
* put the new parameter description to the proper (alphabetically sorted)
  place in Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt

Changes since v1:
* do not remove noswapaccount parameter and add swapaccount parameter instead
* Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt updated
