Parallella Epiphany is soon shipping with a 85 kGate FPGA (Zynq 7020).

That's not an awful lot, but you can squeeze a small open core
in there, if you don't trust the ARM cores it ships with.

I don't know whether the FPGA is reconfigurable after boot,
if it isn't, you can load a verified blob with e.g. crypto
functions, allowing you to build an open hardware TPM which
runs outside of OS trust zone.
