I have a patch which goes on top of sysrq.c v1.4, which gives you Alt-SysRq-N. This terminates the process with the highest PID, so allows you to kill off processes one-by-one.
Unfortunately, it all goes a bit wrong once the PIDs have wrapped round, as the highest PID is no longer the most recent process.
Patch enclosed below.
