I would not do this. The amount of communication to assemble those things
would most likely swamp the speedup you gained.
If anything, reoder x. However, why would you need to be the original order
ever? Just use the order after partition. That is how
parallel codes work for the most part.

What most experimenters take for granted before they begin their
experiments is infinitely more interesting than any results to which their
experiments lead.
