Luckily for me, the SCSI driver eventually (2+ hours) timed out.

Usually this means that it is waiting for some specific I/O which it doesn't get. And then it bites itself in the tail: It doesn't get processor time because it is waiting for I/O and you can't interrupt it because it doesn't get processor time... A reboot is the only option.
