j, besides the luck of no (yet) use in the kernel's printf(), is
described for printf(3)

  j   A  following integer conversion corresponds to an intmax_t or uintmax_t
      argument, or a following n conversion corresponds to a pointer to an
      intmax_t argument.

So, I this among all proposals, this one is the best (while all of them may
sound not good).
