Looks like the Wine developers consider the Multi-threaded command stream for Direct3D good enough now, as it's in Wine 2.6.
For those that don't know what the 'Multi-threaded command stream' is or does, it should hopefully allow better performance in certain games ran through Wine on Linux.
Wine 2.6 highlights:
They fixed 25 bugs in this release which includes fixing issues in games like Neverwinter Online, Rogue Operatives, The Solus Project and more.
They also included a fix that multiple games and applications needed, to quote the release log:
Pretty great release, congratulations to the Wine developers for their constant effort.
If you want to enable CSMT (Multi-threaded command stream), you need to do it via regedit, so launch it with Wine first:
Then scroll through to Direct3D like so:
Then, you need to rename it to "csmt" and make sure the value is set to 1. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

For Arma2, in this Wine version the texture issue on AMD cards was fixed. With CSMD enabled, there were also fixed issues with postprocessing effects and partly shadow issues.
The ATOC and map graphical issues remains.

Good point! These bugs seems very similar. In Arma 2, ATOC can be disabled via game settings, but I usually play Arma with Gallium Nine, where it works without problems.
