There are two obvious ways to "reverse the DN"...
one is to just write it backwards (uid=kdz,dc=example,dc=com)
becomes (moc=cd,elpmaxe=cd,zdk=diu) the other is to reverse
the SEQUENCE of RDNs (dc=com,dc=example,uid=kdz).  Both
should provide good better "locality" using default btree
ordering routines, but generation costs are different.
Likely the former is cheaper to generate.

Note that it can be easily achieved by ldap_dn2bv by using appropriate flags (e.g. LDAP_DN_FORMAT_DCE, or we could add a REVERSE flag to be ORed to the usual flags.
