Description:
The MySQL Server documentation for version 6.0 does not mention the options for enabling and disabling the falcon storage engine.

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/6.0/en/se-falcon-configuration.html

 To enable (default): --falcon
 To disable:          --skip-falcon

Corresponding options for other storage engines, for example InnoDB and Maria, are documented:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/6.0/en/se-maria-configuration.html#option_mysqld_maria
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/6.0/en/innodb-parameters.html#option_mysqld_innodb

How to repeat:
See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/6.0/en/se-falcon-configuration.html

Suggested fix:
Add description of "falcon" option, similar to "maria" and "innodb" options.
