Hi Ard,

EDK2 should use exclusively forked submodules!

From now on all EDK2-based projects that have used
https://github.com/Zeex/subhook.git
can't be downloaded and build anymore.

*All these projects are broken now.*

To rely on submodules, that can suddenly disappear makes the entire EDK2
project a house of cards.

Thanks ,
JC
