I think you are misunderstanding the flags in /proc/cpuinfo. I
believe they represent which features the processor supports, not what
features the kernel supports. Like Rajat said you may need to enable
the feature in your BIOS, but otherwise you may want to check the
datasheet for the processor.
feel free to paste the output of:
cat /proc/cpuinfo
If you do not have this feature you will have to use something such as
VirtualBox, of course there will be a performance penalty.
