I feel like everywhere this should be webProcessCanTerminate instead of webProcessCanTerminateEarly.

Is an early return if allowed == m_webProcessCanTerminateEarly helpful?

> Source/WebKit2/UIProcess/WebContext.h:265
> +    bool m_webProcessCanTerminateEarly;

Blank line before this might be nice.

So is this the FIXME to remove this? I'm not sure what the FIXME represents here.

Ok, I don't feel strongly about this. Changed to webProcessCanTerminate.

I don't think so, given the current implementation of shouldTerminate, but I will add it in case shouldTerminate for some reason gets more complicated.

Done.

Yes, we should come up with a way to do the testing such that this is not necessary. I will revise the comment to say:

// FIXME: This is a workaround for testing purposes only and should be removed once a better solution has been found for testing.

I don't like this name. Could we instead have

WKContextDisableProcessTermination and WKContextEnableProcessTermination?

I will change it to use those names, and since that is so much of the patch I will send it out for review again.
