The noswap mount option is surely not one of the three options for sizing: move its description down. The huge= mount option does not accept numeric values: those are just in an internal enum. Delete those numbers, and follow the manpage text more closely (but there's not yet any fadvise() or fcntl() which applies here). /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled is hard to describe, and barely relevant to mounting a tmpfs: just refer to transhuge.rst (while still using the words deny and force, to help as informal reminders).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
