After autocompleting (maybe in objectlass_attr) I think the best thing 
to do is to create a dsdb_attribute from the ldb_message that is about 
to be stored, and check that we can get syntax for this attribute with

attr->syntax = dsdb_syntax_for_attribute(attr);
Concerning the creation of the dsdb_attribute I think that 
dsdb_attribute_from_ldb can be splitted in at least two functions: 1 
which create a dsdb_attribute and one that do the setup of the schema 
and add the attribute in the attribute list.
