The problem is that platforms is one dimensional, spanning operating systems, containing a fractal dimension spanning plugins, and this is another dimension, spanning processors.

Look in platforms/Cross/plugins/IA32ABI/ and you’ll see lots of versions of callback support for different processors.  The code is mostly OS agnostic, but is ABI specific.

So the convention that limps along is to put processor specific stuff under platforms/Cross/plugins in the relevant plugin.  It ain’t pretty but it’s probably as good as anywhere else.
