I don't think a 'this' pointer should be in the ubus_method. Methods can
typically be shared between multiple ubus_objects, and the 'this'
pointer would typically go into the ubus_object.
However, even there it is not necessary to have a void pointer directly
in the struct. You can simply embed the ubus_object in another data
structure which contains the 'this' pointer (or maybe is even embedded
in the C++ object directly)

I don't write code in C++ myself, so if there's something I'm missing
here, please let me know and show me some details.
