I'd say that this is only the first step :). That will indeed make the
WebContext create a new process for a new browsing context. Thing is
that the multi web process architecture needs some other changes to be
really correct.

For example we still need to support the NetworkProcess (otherwise you'd
have multiple webcore instances each one with its own resource cache,
also throttling connections and resource load priorities would be a
nightmare, etc...) or the shared web workers process among other stuff.
