 filters should be applied to the list of hosts that are in ‘force_hosts’.

Yes, @Gray, it's my point.

Operator can live-migrate a instance to a specified host and skip filters,
 it's apposite and important, I agree with you.

But when we boot instance, we always want to launch a instance successfully
or get a clear failure reason, if the filters are applied for the force
host, operator maybe find out that he is doing something wrong at earlier
time. For example, he couldn't boot a pci instance on a force host that
don't own pci device.

and I don't think 'force_hosts' is operator action, the default value is
'is_admin:True' in policy.json, but in some case the value may be changed
so that the regular user can boot instance on specified host.
