Also, lets not forget that it's not just Linux (or any one kernel or OS) that's the issue but also every popular hardware architecture can be expected to be subvertable, especially x86 it would appear. And exploiting these types of bugs is within the capablilities of many non-nation state actors as well at this point.

Oh yeah. It's why you see me pushing things like the GPL'd Leon3 processor (SPARC) that can be implemented on visually-inspectable nodes. Or the 8-16bitters or Forth CPU's if it really needs minimalism. Even open-source EDA tools like Qflow that could use attention from smart OSS contributors.
