The emphasis should be in the RSP extension, not on GDBserver.
Something like this, under the existing "New remote packets":

* New remote packets

qXfer:libraries-svr4:read's annex

The previously unused annex of the qXfer:libraries-svr4:read packet
has now been defined to support passing an argument list.  The remote
stub reports support for this argument list to gdb's qSupported query.
The defined arguments are "start" and "prev", used to reduce work
necessary for library list updating, resulting in significant speedup.
