I'm sure there's a good reason for it, but this seems weird to me.
Why read it from a file on disk instead of accepting it through say
a securityfile write?

Assuming that the concept of a white list is something we want to
support, then at minimum the list needs to be signed and verified.
Instead of defining a new Kconfig pathname option, a securityfs file
could read it, like the IMA policy.
