[Mpi-22] Call for MPI 2.2 agenda items

[Jesper Larsson Traeff]

Here are some items that are perhaps suitable for MPI-2.2

* MPI_Reduce_scatter_block

* (possibly) built-in segmented Scan operations (new binary operators)

* Correction/clarification to semantics of one-sided synchronization
  when switching between modes (NOTE: the proposal I posted some months 
  back is deficient, as Rolf pointed out to me, and will have to be modified)

I will try to make final proposals before the next meeting
