LVM locked on md raid with removed disks

I have md raid 5 which I tried to stop, but that failed. I pulled the drives off the SATA bus and re-initialized. I realized the initial failure to stop was likely LVM, which I forgot to remove. LVM is no longer usable on the system and LVM processes (vgdisplay, vgscan and lvmremove) are so hung they will not obey a kill -9. LVM appears deadlocked on /var/lock/lvm/V_vg-raid1. I really don't want to reboot as it is a KVM virtual host. Is there any way to fix this?
