Ah, it took me a second read to understand your proposal.

You mean to issue some commands to GDB (probably in the debug configuration page) to inform it on the actual memory regions characteristics, and then be sure that the memory viewer gets these characteristics back and issues accesses accordingly.

I don't know how complicated this might be, but I think it is worths investigating.
