For now I think the best would be to open the ldb with different options:

1.) as readonly, LDB_FLG_RDONLY (I'm not sure if we really deny writes
    at ldb level yet..)
    (this should be done in ldap_server.c)
2.) pass an opaque option to ldb, and the partition modules
    reads this at connect time, and switches between two search
    implementations. the default one and the one that combines searches
    from all partitions.
