That's the compressed image that is 1.6MB, so the uncompressed
kernel will be quite a bit bigger than that. As it is, the XFs
binary size can be found from your source tree via:
$ size fs/xfs/xfs.ko
text data bss dec hex filename
468288 59632 1400 529320 813a8 fs/xfs/xfs.ko
$
So for my current kernel build on x86-64 with these options:
CONFIG_XFS_FS=y
CONFIG_XFS_QUOTA=y
CONFIG_XFS_POSIX_ACL=y
CONFIG_XFS_RT=y
# CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG is not set
the XFS binary footprint is around 520kB. Yours will be smaller
given you don't have RT, ACL and quota configured, but it will still
probably be the largest single code block in your kernel...

Simple answer: it will stay in the L2 cache if we are lucky and
userspace doesn't trash the L2 cache between syscalls.
More complex answer: run perf w/ sampling on L1/L2 cache misses and
have a look for yourself.
Cheers,
Dave.
