Ok, so this bug seems to have been un-fixed (re-introduced) in 4.4.0-66, perhaps as part of the response to https://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-3220-1 Please re-fix (or un-re-introduce) it in a future kernel for Xenial.
Fixing this bug also solves a problem with 'fdisk -l' which is discussed on askubuntu at: http://askubuntu.com/questions/703576 The ram disks became an issue when fdisk was updated. Also, I remember noticing ram[0..15] when I first switched to ubuntu (maybe 9.04), so I became curious. They seem to have been here since the beginning. You can find CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM=y in the /boot/config file of linux-image-2.6.8.1-3-386_2.6.8.1-16.1_i386.deb, which was the oldest one I could find on old-releases.ubuntu.com. If there is a prize for the longest-standing ubuntu bug, I guess this one wins it.
