I am not an expert in this area, but couldn't you make a new arch_stratum target that does the translation?
With this approach maybe you don't even need a hook -- just do the translation and call the target beneath.
I took a clue from the way that sol-thread.c prevents corelow.c from calling add_target to install core_ops. I added the following to corelow.c:
The target code contains a definition for target_translate_address which is initialized to point to the translation routine. For other targets, this will be zero.
