I don't think there are - contiguous chunks of pages can't have a PDX
hole in their middle. There would be two parts (before and after the
hole), and no allocation can return two such parts.

Furthermore PDX compression actually _reduces_ holes, i.e. there
might only be a case where physical addresses are discontiguous
yet virtual ones are contiguous, but never the other way around.
