Perhaps taking them from x264 CLI's long-help description would be appropriate. From memory it's something like the following (don't have x264 to hand at the moment, where's Dark Shikari when ya need him? ;-)):

0 - No trellis performed
1 - Perform trellis on final macroblock encode only
2 - Perform trellis on all encodes

But that's just from memory, and is possibly a little inaccurate, and out-dated since x264 / Dark Shikari made changes to what trellis specifically did.
