Bug Description

This happens in 16.04 LTS dailyimage (2016-02-08).
/etc/modules is copied from 14.04 LTS (and works there).
My /etc/modules:

# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded
# at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are ignored.

loop
lp
rtc
bonding
8021q
ip_gre
nf_conntrack hashsize=262144
nf_conntrack_ftp ports=21
nf_conntrack_pptp
nf_conntrack_netbios_ns
nf_nat_ftp
nf_nat_pptp
act_mirred
sch_fq_codel
ifb numifbs=4

It looks like ifb numifbs=4 is ignored, when I remove numifbs=4 then all is OK, module is loaded with default 2 devices. When I type modprobe ifb numifbs=4 from console all is OK, module is loaded.
