I guess I misunderstood.  I grepped all of gdb.texinfo, including that
particular xref, and saw nothing that would satisfy "where program
spaces are described" (or explained).
Plus the only reference to program spaces in that particular xref is
inside the description of a "maint" command - "[...], when debugging
GDB itself, ...".  It didn't seem kosher to refer users to sections
intended for GDB developers.  But no matter, learn something new every
day.
Thanks.
