2 more kernel problems, both solved fairly quickly.
(1) Somehow, presumably in 'make menuconfig' for 3.17.0 ,
the real-time-clock option got unchecked,
resulting in a "can't find hardware clock" error at start/shutdown.
Perhaps it's a bug in menuconfig or perhaps the option got moved around ;
since it's not new, I shouldn't have been asked about it during the dialog.
(2) There's been a sudden masking of 3.17.0 in favor of 3.17.1-r1 ,
now successfully running my machine.

Yup - the changelog mentions filesystem corruption issues but not
which, and I'm too lazy to check the patches. :)
However, anybody running btrfs on 3.17 should be on the lookout for
3.17.2 or deploying patches - there was a fairly nasty readonly
snapshot bug in 3.17 which is tracked for the next stable kernel. The
good news is that the patch prevents it from happening again, and
btrfs-progs-3.17 (not yet in portage) repairs it.
