I export all required sources recursively and store them in the appropriate 
directories.
qemu itself requires only the keycodemapdb, it does no download-on-demand.

And now that I had a chance to look at the sources, qemu-xen-dir-find calls a 
custom script that will do nothing if the <dir>-remote already exists.

I think instead of changing the custom Makefile, the submodules have to be 
handled in git-checkout.sh which is invoked by ovmf-dir.
If I remember correctly, when keycodemapdb became a hard requirement nothing in 
xen.git was adjusted.
