Yes. The memory map should come as XML via target -- there's 'mem'
command that can be used to define memory map from gdb side, but
I don't think it can handle flash.

Who are "we"? GDB generally will try to read data using chunks as bit
as the remote side can handle. The remote side should behave as
specified in the qXfer documentation -- in particular, I don't think
it's allowed to return more data than asked for.
