Create an instance of MEMORY_BASIC_INFORMATION and pass a pointer to
it via byref(). For example, the following queries the region of
memory of the VirtualQuery function itself.

    kernel32 = ctypes.WinDLL('kernel32', use_last_error=True)

    MEM_COMMIT = 0x1000
    PAGE_EXECUTE_READ = 0x20
    PAGE_EXECUTE_WRITECOPY = 0x80

    VirtualQuery = kernel32.VirtualQuery
    VirtualQuery.restype = SIZE_T
    VirtualQuery.argtypes = (LPVOID, PMEMORY_BASIC_INFORMATION, SIZE_T)

    mbi = MEMORY_BASIC_INFORMATION()
    VirtualQuery(VirtualQuery, ctypes.byref(mbi), ctypes.sizeof(mbi))

    >>> mbi.AllocationBase == kernel32._handle
    True
    >>> mbi.AllocationProtect == PAGE_EXECUTE_WRITECOPY
    True
    >>> mbi.BaseAddress
    140703181352960
    >>> mbi.RegionSize
    364544
    >>> mbi.State == MEM_COMMIT
    True
    >>> mbi.Protect ==  PAGE_EXECUTE_READ
    True
