with some people cloning from coreboot.org and some from github.com,
there is no correct absolute path.

The manpage git-submodule(1) gives a hint about `init':
  "You can then customize the submodule clone URLs in .git/config for
   your local setup and proceed to git submodule update; [...]"

We could indeed script something after running `submodule init'. Like
a Kconfig that replaces the default `../' prefix. Would that help?
One could then have the path (prefix) in site-local/.
