CONFIG_DMAR_DEFAULT_ON is ON by default since linux-2.6.29 and commit

commit f6be37fdc62d0c0214bc49815d1180ebfbd716e2

    x86: enable DMAR by default
    
    Now that the obvious bugs have been worked out, specifically
    the iwlagn issue, and the write buffer errata, DMAR should be safe
    to turn back on by default. (We've had it on since those patches
were
    first written a few weeks ago, without any noticeable bug reports
    (most have been due to the dma-api debug patchset.))

But the .config used to build your 2.6.32 kernel, had it set to OFF
