WebKitGTK+ users do this by using the SoupSession directly in WebKit1, for example, Epiphany calls soup_session_prefetch_dns for every hostname in the recent history. This is not possible with WebKit2 because we don't have access to the SoupSession from the UI process. This is something that will only be used on demand, so I think it's harmless. But still, if other ports are not interested, would the same patch be acceptable by adding #if PLATFORM(GTK) everywhere?
