Don't know for sure, depends on how the address space layout looks like.
cat /proc/${pid}/maps should give a clue.
Address space is not only needed for qemu and guest memory, but also for
shared library mappings, thread stacks etc. Probably there are holes
due to address space randomization. And qemu needs a single, big chunk
for the guest memory.
