[Mpi3-hybridpm] External interfaces chapter updates

[Bronis R. de Supinski]

Bill:

Doesn't it seem like it would be useful to partition
the changes into the issues that motivate them? It
would seem we could use the ticket number as a way
to do that.

Otherwise, it will be hard to tell minor wording changes
that can be considered individually from those that need
acceptance of a more significant overall change.
