Mods if a move this thread if needed, please do so.

I need to ensure that my installation of Wine can handle certain tasks for duplicating some of the Windows 64-bit API functions and programs. However, I've hit a snag with some. Namely those that load a Ring 0 driver into the NT Kernel and execute as an anti-piracy/hacking program/layer.

Can Wine duplicate the functions of Ring 0 loaded kernel drivers and runtimes or is this outside the scope of Wine's capabilities at the moment due to how it operates within Linux and other non-Windows operating systems?

you might want to ask that question on winehq's forum

asking here wasn't too bad an idea either, since people here are very helpful if they've run into the same issue before.
