While passing --help works, i believe the parameter guides are a little 
bit more detailed than what you can put in a help message, so there 
still is a place for those. FreeBSD doesn't have FreeBSD-specific 
parameters, so in this case it's probably OK to drop this particular 
document, but it would still be nice to refer users to the common EAL 
arguments guide.
