The desired behaviour can be achieved by adding the following to the
default boot options:

biosdevname=0 net.ifnames=0

vagrant@xenialvagranttest:~$ uname -ar

Title:
  Xenial/4.4 kernel does not honor biosdevname=0

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I installed the Xenial daily testing image dated 2-13-2016
  (ttp://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/daily-live/20160213/xenial-
  desktop-i386.iso).

  I'm booting the kernel with the following:

      ipv6.disable=1 biosdevname=0 longhaul.enable=0 audit=0 quiet
  splash

  However, eth0 is being named enp3s0:

      $ dmesg | egrep 'r8169|net|eth'
      [    0.017363] Initializing cgroup subsys net_cls
      [    0.017377] Initializing cgroup subsys net_prio
      [    3.150713] r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.3LK-NAPI loaded
      [    3.150735] r8169 0000:03:00.0: can't disable ASPM; OS doesn't have ASPM control
      [    3.150765] r8169 0000:03:00.0: PCI: Disallowing DAC for device

      [    3.263623] r8169 0000:03:00.0 enp3s0: renamed from eth0
      [   15.729303] r8169 0000:03:00.0 enp3s0: link down
      [   15.729327] r8169 0000:03:00.0 enp3s0: link down
      [   17.381617] r8169 0000:03:00.0 enp3s0: link up

  And:

      $ cat /etc/network/interfaces
      # interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
      auto lo
      iface lo inet loopback

      auto eth0
      iface eth0 inet dhcp

  And:

      $ ls -Al /etc/udev/rules.d/
      total 0

  The thing that looks most different (to me) is systemd.
