Are such kernel args actually documented anywhere? Only in the module source, I'm afraid. You can do something like grep -i module_par drivers/video/aty/atyfb_base.c to see all the the options supported by the atyfb driver and their (very short) descriptions.

Bug#317756: Framebuffer settings
Hi Dave, I've tried to look at the diff between 2.6.8 and 2.6.11/12 atyfb driver, and it's pretty huge, so I wasn't able to get any useful information that way. To test whether the problems you are experiencing are due to the wrong MCLK value, you can try setting it by adding a kernel boot argument video=atyfb:mclk=100 since that worked for 2.6.8. You can also try disabling framebuffer in console completely by adding the boot arguments video=atyfb:off vga=normal Please try these options and send the followup to the bug.
