On Mac we observed that DrawTargetTiled yields better performance than the single paint buffer method (which we use on B2G and Fennec). The same is probably true for B2G and Fennec since they use software content rendering. Let's find out.
There are three test failures.

These two can be fuzzed:
layout/reftests/forms/input/range/stepDown-unthemed.html
layout/reftests/forms/input/range/stepDown.html

And this one looks very bad:
layout/reftests/position-dynamic-changes/horizontal/leftA-widthN-rightA.html?padding_abspos

It looks like your push didn't contain the patch from bug 1063046. Can you fire off another one from a more recent mozilla-central revision? Hopefully bug 1063046 will have fixed the latter test failure.
With a bit of fuzzing this try push shows up green on b2g https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=Try&rev=b36bd826a511
(still need a bit of work on android, though)
Exciting stuff. \o/

for a tile to be a placeholder, it would have to have both its front and back buffer to be null, but we'd only discard one of the two, making a placeholder look like it wasn't one.

I expected you didn't mean to have this hunk in this patch.

oops, indeed i didn't.
Unfortunately there are some new regressions in TiledDrawTarget on B2G (with and without my patches), as shown in this try push: https://treeherder.mozilla.org/ui/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=5b31edbc8ce3
A few days ago R11 and R14 were the only two issues (see https://treeherder.mozilla.org/ui/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=99955634391f ).
This was a mistake from Bug 1108164. There is no more code paths where we are supposed to pass aCanRerasterizeValidRegion=true now that per-tile drawing is gone, so let's remove it. This should fix the issue (waiting for try results)

Backed out the enabling chunk in https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/mozilla-inbound/rev/3a86099219cb - still getting reftest-14 and -15 failures in position-dynamic-changes/, around 10% of the runs.

Nevermind, the bug that caused the regression which this fixes hasn't made it to beta.

Are all the remaining pieces of this bug B2G only?  This comment https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1079996#c15 is suggesting that we're expecting some goodness to come to other platforms, so should we change the summary?

This tracks the work that's needed to get DrawTargetTiled on b2g specifically, but along the way I have found some issues that, once fixed, can make things better for other platforms (Mac is the only one shipping DrawTargetTiled for now, but It may get enabled on android eventually too, and I think that the plan is to get windows xp tiling directly through DrawTargetTiled).

Bug 1071772 tracks DrawTaretTiled on android.
Right - I was interested in us mentioning this helping a Mac bug 1064236 and bug 1079996.

This description makes it sound to me like we do not need to take a fix in 37. As such, I'm not tracking this bug (was suggested in bug 1079996 that referenced this one).
