That assumes you're using ebtables and matching traffic passing through br0.
I want to match traffic passing through eth0 and eth1.

Yes, I know. tc matches traffic according to flags set in skb->priority. I'm
using iptables to match traffic and set those priorities (so like I said I'm
not using tc filters - i'm still using tc qdiscs to do the actual shaping).
