... there is no hardware provision on the 8051/52 to run DRAMs, (i.e. MMU (memory management unit), etc.)

That is not what the term "MMU" is usually taken to mean.

The device that controls the DRAM refresh etc is usually called a "DRAM Controller"

A "Memory Management Unit" (MMU) is a higher-level function that gives the memory protection functions required by operating systems such as Windows and UNIX/Linux: These are the functions that allow each Task to run in its own "protected" memory space, and prevent one task from trashing another's memory.
