This has been discussed in detail at
http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-devel&m=139606131629659&w=2 . tl;dr - There
won't be an option to disable Baloo or an include list. Baloo might however
show list of currently indexed dirs.

So if you are really planning to write the code you're talking about, its
been already suggested in that thread ;)
