It only indicates that the CPU/northbridge has the hardware, but BIOS must
do a work to configure it and to inform the OS about the configuration.
Your BIOS did not.

Dmesg would not give you any useful information there. A DMAR table
is either present, or is it not. In the later case, OS cannot use the
hardware, and if no option in BIOS is present, your only choice is to
complain to the machine/BIOS vendor.
