Very interesting.  What's the performance like on this?

One interesting thing is that this will probably make "set
trust-readonly-sections" slower than reading target memory.
Another is that the list of open files on the remote target is tied to
the remote connection; if we disconnect from the remote target with a
BFD still open, what happens?
