How the backend knows it's being searched by syncprov?

Howard,

to use syncprov on top of back-sql, I need the backend to know it's 
being searched for sync replication purposes when filtering for CSN.  To 
this end, I added a function slap_find_control_id() that returns the cid 
for a given control oid; then, to determine if a search is performed for 
syncrepl purposes, I'd use

       slap_find_control_id( LDAP_CONTROL_SYNC, &sync_cid );

to grab the control's cid at initialization and, when requested to 
filter for CSN, I'd test (op->o_controls[sync_cid]).
sync_cid could be a back-sql wide static variable, initialized to -1 and 
grabbed, for instance, at bi_open(); or it could
even be global scoped, in case other backends need to be syncrepl-aware.

Do you think this is correct?

Ciao, Ando.
