   After some research on the code history, it appears to me that:
   1. The naming similarity between 
`ARROW_SIMD_LEVEL`/`ARROW_RUNTIME_SIMD_LEVEL` and `ARROW_HAVE_* 
`/`ARROW_HAVE_RUNTIME_*` seems to be a (unfortunate?) coincidence. They don't 
really relate to each other.
   2. The cmake option `ARROW_RUNTIME_SIMD_LEVEL` seems to be introduced in 
https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/8049 to solely tailor the SIMD level 
specified by `ARROW_SIMD_LEVEL` at compile time.
   3. The `ARROW_HAVE_RUNTIME_*` (introduced in 
https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/7607) macros seem to be duplicated with 
`ARROW_HAVE_*` (introduced in https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/6794) and 
need some cleanup.
   
   @pitrou I'm not familiar with the full story so please correct me if I get 
anything wrong.
