They should be separate settings (though threaded scrolling will required tiled drawing, I think).

Needed to separate/reduce the layout test churn for 121859 and for general sanity. We can make layout tests use threaded scrolling as well at a future date.

This is kind of messy, because lots of things in WebCore depend on the existence of a scrolling coordinator to mean “do what I should do if we’re using tiled drawing” (use a tiled backing for the root, use the shadow and ‘linen’ background view, etc.).

I can either

a) plumb some new thing down to WebCore that means ‘we’re using tiled drawing’; whether that be a setting or whatever (?)

b) do this at the same time as ‘remove-DrawingAreaImpl and always use tiled drawing’, which would mean that we could just (for Mac) always do these things

Maybe this should take a frame view?
