> Source/WebCore/ChangeLog:14
> +        This patch attempts to optimize the height percentage invalidation logic by skipping boxes with out-of-flow ancestors.
> +        The normal box invalidation logic works on parent-child level (a.k.a when the parent is dirty it walks its direct children list and marks them dirty if needed).
> +        However percent height values require containing block-child type of invalidation which atm we manage using a "percentHeightDescendantsMap".
> +        percentHeightDescendantsMap contains all the height percentage descendants and as part of the box invalidation the block container always marks all of these special descendants dirty.
> +        This leads to excessive and unnecessary layouts in certain cases when the "walk the ancestor chain and mark boxes dirty all the way to the RenderView" code ends up descending back
> +        to these height percentage boxes.
> +        We could optimize it slightly by checking if there's a height percentage containing block in the ancestor chain. In such cases, we know that the descendant's height used value computation will eventually stop at this out-of-flow containing block.

Tidy this up a bit!

Don't need the blur.
