Pylint complains:

 tests/functional/riscv64/test_boston.py:1:0: C0114:
  Missing module docstring (missing-module-docstring)
 tests/functional/riscv64/test_boston.py:95:8: C0415:
  Import outside toplevel (subprocess.run, subprocess.PIPE) (import-outside-toplevel)
 tests/functional/riscv64/test_boston.py:112:17: W1510:
  'subprocess.run' used without explicitly defining the value for 'check'. (subprocess-run-check)
 tests/functional/riscv64/test_boston.py:95:8: W0611:
  Unused PIPE imported from subprocess (unused-import)

Rework the code a little bit to make the linter happy.
