The original project is hosted by code.google.com, that has been closed
in 2015. I doesn't appear there is a real alive repository hosting this
project now (except some multiple clones on github).

So I think you should apply it directly (and regenerate sgabios.bin)

I cc Paolo as he has added the submodule.
