You should use the memory commands:
mi_cmd_data_write_memory
mi_cmd_data_read_memory

they are in mi-main.c (which admittedly is not the right place).  They
haven't been extensively tested. As you find bugs/problems you can
report them on gdb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and enter bugs in the gdb PR
database at:
http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/bugs/
there is an MI category for the bugs.

Thanks
