This should do the same as (untested):

void __init free_bootmem(unsigned long addr, unsigned long size)
{
	bootmem_data_t *bdata;

	list_for_each_entry(bdata, &bdata_list, list) {
		unsigned long remainder;

		if (addr < bdata->node_boot_start)
			continue;

		remainder = PFN_DOWN(addr + size) - bdata->node_low_pfn;

		if (remainder <= 0) {
			free_bootmem_core(bdata, addr, size);
			return;
		}

		size -= PFN_PHYS(remainder);
		free_bootmem_core(bdata, addr, size);
		addr = PFN_PHYS(bdata->node_low_pfn + 1);
	}
}
