There has existed some support for pipelining packets, by putting
sequence numbers on the requests/responses, but I believe that has
been deprecated at some point.  It would have to be brought back.
(Plus, don't underestimate setsockopt TCP_NODELAY.)

(FWIW, an untrusted remote host poking at a local core file via the
gdb-remote protocol does not sound more secure than sending a local
core file to that same host.)
