Something like this:

$ awk '/rw-p/ { split($1, a, "-"); print $1, strtonum("0x" a[2]) - 
strtonum("0x" a[1])}' /proc/$(pgrep qemu)/maps
...
7f01d3e00000-7f0213e00000 1073741824 <-- this must be my 1 GB guest RAM!
...

Then you can check if the memory address falls within the guest RAM
range.

By the way, if you use special memory options (like share=on), then you
may need to adjust the awk script since the mmap will look different.
