You can specify the source host/subnet for SNMPv1/2c requests,
as part of mapping the community to an internal security name.

You can *not* specify a source host/subnet for SNMPv3 requests,
because the SNMPv3 user is automatically mapped to the
corresponding security name.   There is no hook for providing
source-specific mappings for SNMPv3 requests.

We could argue for hours about whether this would be a good
thing or a bad thing to support.  But the bottom line is that the
code does not include any such hook, so SNMPv3 requests
are an all-or-nothing affair.
