There is some functionality that currently is P1 specific, but most should
be rather straight forward to extend to general elements.

I think it is a good idea to merge the parallel functionality even if it
is not general in terms of all element types, and then generalize the
functionality from within DOLFIN. Alternatively we could add just the
general stuff first, and later the rest when generalized, but that may
take time, and I think the parallel capabilities will boost DOLFIN.
