uscanner is unnecessary. You can use the ugen0 device.

Add the USB IDs to /usr/local/etc/sane.d/genesys.conf:
# CanoScan LiDE 90 (untested)
usb 0x04a9 0x1900

Haven't tried 64-bit, and the sane-genesys man page has warnings about
pulling the plug on the scanner if the scanning head hits the stops.
If you were using 32-bit, there's a slim chance of getting the Windows
scanning software to work under Wine.
