+ * KUidA3FContextCommitUpdate - Follows a Commit() call. Signals that Commit() has been successfully received by MMRC 
+ * and that update callbacks are about to follow.  Note will still be called if MMRC rejects the request for policy reasons 
+ * – in which case, the callbacks will show the original value. 
+ *if aError is not KErrNone, then the implementation tried to apply the change but this failed 
+ * so that the implementation is “rolled-back” to the previous. However, KErrAbort says that this roll-back failed, 
+ * and streams have been placed in a Dead state.
+ *
+ * KUidA3FContextPreEmptedCommit -  Follows a Commit() call, but signals that that MMRC is doing a simultaneous pre-emption. 
+ * Update callbacks are about to follow, but these relate to the pre-emption. The original request is lost.
+ * An error of KErrAbort says that the change MMRC requested failed, and typically streams are placed in a “Dead” mode.
+ *
+ * KUidA3FContextPreEmption -  Initial indication to the client that it is to be pre-empted. 
+ * The client should treat the Context and its Components as “locked” – see below. 
+ *
+ * KUidA3FContextPreEmptionUpdate - Will follow a KUidA3FContextPreEmption and indicates that callbacks 
+ * are about to start to indicate the update. An error of KErrAbort says that the change MMRC requested failed, 
+ * and typically streams are placed in a “Dead” mode.
+ * 
+ * KUidA3FContextUpdateComplete - Signals that all callbacks are complete – Commit() can be called again, if required.
+ *
+ * KUidA3FContextAbort - Error occurred due to the commit or pre-emption cycle itself – 
+ * that is something to do with the associated message passing mechanism etc. 
+ * this terminates the whole cycle, whatever the current state. It should leave the context in a “reasonable state” 
+ *– usually the original state.  aError gives the associated reason for this.
