What works
Main game. 99% of DLC content. Installation of DLC via Origin Legacy client. Cloud saving (see below how).
Excellent framerate. Even got that 'film grain' effect I can't get on Windows (either a newer driver bug or related to how 'Origin Overlay' works on Windows I suppose)
What does not
In 'Lair of the Shadow Broker' (DLC) there is this one scripted space-car chase where no shaders are loaded / video is shown. Only sound and GUI. Played that single sequence on Windows unfortunately.
Workarounds
Cloud saving is not working perfectly. Info about when a game actually quits is not passing to the Origin client. So any time you start a game Origin Legacy Client asks you to choose between local and online saves. You need to be careful what button to click...
What was not tested
Nothing I know of.

DLC for Mass Effect 2 seems to work okay. You need an EA account & Bioware account. You have to link your bioware account to your EA master account.
When done, you can login to http://social.bioware.com/user_entitlements.php and download the content manually.
I have tested the Inferno Armor, Blood Dragon Armor, Zaeed - The Price of Revenge (Cerberus Network), Normandy Crash Site (Cerberus Network).
Launch the installer in the wineprefix you have Mass Effect 2 installed, the installer will fail (for me) at cleaning up the install. It is safe to kill the install process.
Once you have started Mass Effect 2, login to the Cerberus Network with your EA account and the DLC will be authorised (you may get a warning the first time)
