Right now in layers-free webrender mode, APZ doesn't get any hit-testing information. In the long term we want to do hit-testing in WebRender but I think in the short term it makes sense to stand up some hit-testing in C++ code, reusing the existing APZ codepaths. It's not a lot of work (I have some patches already) but it will likely have poor performance. Still, it will allow us to turn on APZ sooner, which means we can run APZ-enabled reftests sooner, which I think will help development overall and avoid regressions when working on the more complete hit-test solution.
With these patches applied (and with everything else that's landed) APZ mostly works in layers-free mode. I'm sure there's a lot of edge cases and whatnot that aren't hooked up properly but basic scrolling seems ok.

Sadly this logic is duplicated in a number of places but because it operates on slightly different inputs/data structures it's hard to refactor/reuse. See http://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/search?q=alreadyHadRegions for other places this pattern exists.
