I just installed 16.0.1 and included the following in the .qsf file:

set_instance_assignment -name PRESERVE_UNUSED_XCVR_CHANNEL ON

I now get the following messages from the fitter:

Info (17952): Global preservation of unused RX channels is enabled. Preserving 48 unused RX channel location(s).

Info (18653): Global preservation of unused TX channels is enabled. Preserving 48 unused TX channel location(s).

Info (17953): Preserved 48 unused RX channel(s).

Info (18654): Preserved 48 unused TX channel(s).

This is targeting ES2 silicon on the Arria 10 SoC dev kit.
