This patch is awesome!
One comment on tests. You can in fact make reftests that compare the old
columns with the new columns. You can see examples of that in the newmulticol
subdirectory of fast/multicol. I understand your balancing algorithm may be
different, though, and it may lead to slightly different results, but maybe you
could take a look at a few balancing tests and see if you happen to match.

Let's push this into a little helper function (even just a static would be
nice).

Add the OVERRIDE keyword to these functions please. I don't think you need a
blank line between them either.

BTW I added this variable on the assumption you might use it to set if a column
set needs balancing. If it turns out you don't need it, you could just take it
out.

We dislike raw booleans, since what they mean is not discernible from the call
site. Please change this to use an enum instead of a boolean.

Use an enum instead of a boolean.
> Source/WebCore/rendering/RenderMultiColumnSet.h:85
> + // Calculate the column height when contents is supposed to be balanced.
If 'initial' is set,
Should be "when the contents are supposed to be balanced."
> Source/WebCore/rendering/RenderMultiColumnSet.h:143
> bool m_requiresBalancing; // Whether or not the columns in the column
set have to be balanced, i.e., made to be similar logical heights.
May as well ditch the member too, right? If you're not going to need it, dump
it.
