The Haiku port also uses no OpenGL. I have versions of
CoordinatedGraphics and TextureMapper extracted from old verisons of
WebKit which I maintain with the port (TextureMapperImageBuffer is the
entry point for that):
https://github.com/haiku/webkit/blob/rebased/Source/WebCore/platform/graphics/texmap/TextureMapperImageBuffer.cpp

The commit which restores this may serve as a reference (but may not
apply directly to current sources):
