The userspace build failure has now been fixed via LP: #1592930 and new Xenial kernel (4.4.0-26.45) has been uploaded to -proposed, so ...
This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed- xenial' to 'verification-done-xenial'. If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed.

This feature is extremely useful for those doing large-scale networking simulations where Ubuntu-based VMs are used to simulate hosts. Not only does it allow hosts to report the same speed in simulations for monitoring tools, but it is required to simulate 802.3ad bonding where link-speed is reported to the peer device. Without proper speed setting there are cases where establishing LACP adjacency is not possible. After this patch setting the link speed and duplex now works just as one would expect. I'm running the kernel that contains this patch for these commands: $ sudo ethtool -s enp0s8 speed 100000 duplex full $ sudo ethtool enp0s8 Settings for enp0s8: Supported ports: [ ] Supported link modes: Not reported Supported pause frame use: No Supports auto-negotiation: No Advertised link modes: Not reported Advertised pause frame use: No Advertised auto-negotiation: No Speed: 100000Mb/s Duplex: Full Port: Other PHYAD: 0 Transceiver: internal Auto-negotiation: off Link detected: yes I've already submitted patches to the kernel-team mailing list.
