Mirroring functionality is build into ifb[1]. There's tc action "mirred
egress mirror" which, used in a proper context, can mirror ingress
and/or egress traffic to other interface. In your case, mirrored
interface would be br0.
Here [2] our colegue is describing ingress mirroring from eth1 to
eth2-5.
And important note here [3] about using "protocol all" in tc filter, if
you also want to get non-ip traffic mirrored.
