Excellent!

Doing N-to-N reads into a ParallelMesh for a restart is the intention,
yes.  I don't know if anybody has thoroughly tested it yet, though;
mostly we've been using Nemesis for distributed mesh I/O.

It looks like you might even be able to read those N files into an
N-processor SerialMesh code if it was partitioned in the exact same
way.
