So is adding the new functionality going to make the old one ugly enough to
warrant the clean slate? Is the integrated memory/IO hub the new thing that is
going to be done going forward?

Don't get me wrong - you're going to end up maintaining all this so I'm just
playing the devil's advocate here.
