I think the difference here is that vPC, Multi-chassis Etherchannel, ... allows
load-balancing over all paths (over both switches), right?
While this surely provides HA, it comes with a cost for the Nexus-like switches
that it requires.
I was thinking about load-balancing over the same switch,
What you are asking for seems to be a vPC (virtual port channel, aka MLAG)
between switch 1 and switch2.
Thanks.

You may consider using LACP to solve this problem. You can create a
single 4 port LACP bond, and plug it into two different switches.
LACP will automatically choose one of those two switches to be active
and forward to it until it dies.

This is the situation:
1 bridge: br0
eth0 => physical switch1
eth1 => physical switch1 (same switch or stack)
eth2 => physical switch2
eth3 => physical switch2 (same or stack)
