I'm not a native speaker, but the following seems better:

"Maximum order of pages to be used for the shared ring"

This chunk should go after the !xen_domain check.

This should be XEN_BLKIF_MAX_REQS, because the actual value might be lower.

This should be:

Missing line break here.

I would also use RINGREF_NAME_LEN here directly instead of the sizeof.

IMHO better use (BLK_RING_SIZE - 1) here instead of BLK_MAX_RING_SIZE.

Why do you have to use BLK_MAX_RING_SIZE instead of the previous
BLK_RING_SIZE?
