I'm not sure why we'd special-case this one, and not the other places where we make IOKit calls which need to be removed before we can enable blocking?

This IOKit call only takes place in the UI process. We're brokering the value to the WebContent process.

Thanks for reviewing!

Why not just return a constant? We don’t need to call IOSurface just to feel good.

That is a good point. I kept the IOSurface call in case the constant should change at some point.

Thanks for reviewing!

RELEASE_LOG_FAULT produces a CrashTracer report. Does this code path execute frequently? If so, it will become our top CrashTracer report (even if the user does not experience a process termination). Do we have other options for gathering whatever information we're trying to gather here?

That is a very good point. The code path is expected to execute very infrequently, although I still think it makes sense to avoid possible crash reports. I will change this to log an error instead.

Thanks for reviewing!
