LGTM.  Do we have numbers for this perf change?

Nope, but I can run Parser/html5-full-render. I don't know what other thing to run, have any ideas? I'm also looking into how to run the page cycler.

It might show up in html5-full-render.

Regardless of the perf impact, I think this is a good change and worth the space trade-off (for code-clarity if nothing else).

Are there places which call m_renderer = 0 instead of setRenderer that we need to worry about?

Nope, m_renderer is in Node.h and is private, and I made sure Node always goes through setRenderer(0) in the previous patch.

Looks like you need to clean up the exported symbols list too:

  "__ZNK7WebCore8Document10renderViewEv", referenced from:
     -exported_symbol[s_list] command line option
