Remotely rebooting a machine with state 'D' processes, how?

How can I reboot a stuck machine remotely, when there are uninterruptable
processes arround? shutdown -r, reboot [-n] [-f], telinit 6 do not give the
intended results. Localy I can use Alt-SysRq-S/U/B, but what if I still have a
remote ssh connection and don't want to have to get to the machines location?

Of course the real problem are the processes themselves, but being able to
revive a machine is also nice ;)

Regards, Axel.
