[Mpi3-hybridpm] First cut at slides

[Jeff Hammond]

I don't see the issue with connected dynamic processes and finalize.
 Doesn't each process just wait until count=0 to actually finalize?  In
this case, is it not sufficient for each process to use its local ref
count?  Your slide looks fine to me.  What's the example where
borkification happens?
