Ok, applied.  Thank you!

Can you explain what you're intending to use that for?  It's not clear to me how an extra wrapper around the D3D(9|11) surfaces is going to help, given that the support for them with AMF is already pretty good.  (Compare the Intel libmfx stuff (the misleadingly-named "qsv") where the extra wrapping does help for some cases because the underlying library has weird constraints, but overall adds a lot of complexity (and failure modes) for rather unclear benefit.  It's also inconvenient in that it promotes the existence of antifeatures like the "_qsv" decoders which are inferior to the builtin hwaccels in pretty much every respect.)
