Helpful Notes
I had an issue getting suspend to work properly on my laptop. It would go into suspend/sleep mode just fine, but on resume the screen would remain off. No backlight, no drawing, even though the system would be active. I read somewhere that the module for the wireless was the culprit, and it is. So, here's a little hook for you:
/etc/pm/sleep.d/75-realtek-quirk.shModule (Un)Loading Hook#!/usr/bin/env bash
case $1 in
hibernate|suspend)
echo "Unloading Realtek module"
rmmod rtl8192ce
;;
thaw|resume)
echo "Reloading Realtek module"
modprobe rtl8192ce
;;
*) echo "Somebody is calling me totally wrong."

Full Disk Encryption
Just some notes. Full explanation later.
Follow handbook, at chapter 4, preparing disks, do the following instead:
Have USB drive for removable boot partition
Create key file
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/key
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/key/key.luks count=2057 cryptsetup --align-payload=1 luksFormat /mnt/key/key.luks cryptsetup luksOpen /mnt/key/key.luks lukskey dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/mapper/lukskey
cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/sda -ctwofish-xts-plain:512 -s 512 --key-file /dev/mapper/lukskey
cryptsetup --key-file /dev/mapper/lukskey luksOpen /dev/sda enc
cryptsetup luksClose lukskey
umount /mnt/key
openssl enc -aes-256-ctr -pass pass:"$(dd if=/dev/urandom bs=128 count=1 2>/dev/null | base64)" -nosalt < /dev/zero > /dev/mapper/enc
Above took 2h 35m 46.114s to fill 320GB (approximately 298GiB) hard drive on the above laptop.
pvcreate /dev/mapper/enc
vgcreate vg0 /dev/mapper/enc
lvcreate -L 9G vg0 -n swap
lvcreate -l +100%FREE vg0 -n root
mkswap -L swap /dev/vg0/swap
swapon /dev/vg0/swap
mkfs.btrfs -L root /dev/vg0/root
mount -o compress=lzo /dev/vg0/root /mnt/gentoo
Continue with handbook.
Use grub to install to thumbdrive
Follow Custom_Initramfs have it included in the kernel.
