Just to address this point : TI make two ARM processor families, the TI 
Hercules, aimed at safety critical applications.

They consist of dual ARMs in lockstep with comparators, (actually one 
operates 2 cycles behind the other, so that a glitch will affect 
different cycles on each) so that any difference between CPU behaviours 
will trap.

(What the trap handler does is up to your application, I presume)

One's aimed at automotive, the other at industrial, with slight 
differences in temperature range, on-chip peripherals, etc. 

There's a low cost Launchpad devboard for them.
