Thanks for taking the time to review.  Sure, I'll add some comments in 
these new APIs to document what they are used for and how they are 
protected and limited.

I guess it should depend on how the platform driver wants to handle it? 
  I haven't run into a device with multiple UAC interfaces before, so 
I'll need to mimic this configuration on a device, so I can see how it 
exposes itself.

Will investigate this a bit more on my end and come back with my findings.

Got it, thanks!
