GDB remote protocol already allows specifying some memory regions,
though you cannot specify a unreadable&unwritable "hole". The remote
command seems to be accesible as "info mem" command. See
http://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/Memory-Map-Format.html

Also there are "info proc mappings" not "info target", unfortunately
neither these are  exactly what you want.

I guess it would be useful to enhance these commands than implementing new ones.
