Remove preapproved funding designations.

Per discussion between board and core, these stale designations will
be replaced by something we hope to be more lively and maintained.

Clarify that these "continuations" are not continuations; they're
callbacks.

I'm aware that there's a body of practice that uses the term
"continuations" for these constructions, presumably because they can
be used (if used in a certain stylized way) to manually and painfully
implement what you might otherwise do with callcc. But in conventional
usage they aren't continuations or anything like continuations.

Note that I'm not going so far as to change the name or anything
(although I'd suggest that in the long run), just adding a
clarification.

If anyone wants to argue this you know where to find me :-)

add missing words

Add a specific proposal for the SMP networking project.

This proposal is built on top of several individual, smaller projects, all
of which are related to achieve the goals of SMP support and modularity on
the network stack.  Keep in mind that this is just that: a proposal.
Applicants could still come up with their own ideas.

The text of all these new pages is mostly a copy/paste of the original
document written by matt@ (see http://www.netbsd.org/~matt/smpnet.html).
I have done some minor edits (hopefully not changing any of the technical
details) and added some preliminary texts to the pages.  (I was unable to
parse some of the sentences though, so they remain "as is"...)
