I'm out of my depth but isn't all this really target information, i.e., I
could be on an i386 debugging spu remotely?

It's for you to decide if you want to display the information as for variable
objects or not but presumably there might be other architectures that
want provide similar output, e.g, "info mytarget dma".  So I think a further
command is needed:

(gdb)
-target-name
^done,value="spu"
(gdb)
-target-info-list
^done,infos=[name="event",name="signal","name=mailbox",name="dma",name="proxydma"]
