I guess it should be possible to do some kind of source address filtering
in hardware. But it looks like your question is whether it makes sense
or not. Probably not, I have no idea.

By the way, what do you think about making MAC-based ACL capability the
first bit in enum nl80211_ap_sme_features ?
