May I ask why you are still using kernel 3.16.6?
Kernel 3.16.6 is outdated. And even kernel 3.16.7 is outdated. Only Canonical provides some security updates for it AFAICT, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel#Maintenance.
Why don't you also update the kernel?
As far as I can tell, the kernel only seems to be updated with each major Tiny Core Linux release.
But why?
Couldn't you have updated the kernel to at least kernel 3.18.x (current LTS kernel) with Tiny Core Linux 6.3?
And have you actually patched kernel 3.16.6 with some security fixes? Or have you left it as is?

TC has a partial embedded focus, not changing the kernel from under users has benefits. Anything from no new regressions to not invalidating custom kernel modules. Upgrades of Core are supposed to be safe and easily applicable.
Of course TC will work with custom kernels just fine, in case you require 4.1 or any other such version. If you run a security-conscious service, such as a public server, you should consider RHEL/CentOS.

And would graphics-3.16.6-tinycore.tcz still work with kernel 4.1?

No, you need to build matching modules.
