Review comment:
       According to https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/x86-Options.html , it 
seems that the following CPUs may have support for AVX2 but not BMI2: Intel 
Alder Lake, Via Eden. This is obviously an extremely minor fraction of the CPU 
market, but I wouldn't be surprised if some day we get some bug reports because 
of it (or worse, people will decide that Arrow isn't reliable because it 
crashes for some of their customers).
