R: placing x ticks under facet panel in ggplot2

In a faceted plot from ggplot2 package it is possible to change the position of tick marks by the functions like scale_x_continuous(position="top"). However, if tick marks are to be placed on top, they appear above faceting panels, as here:

library(ggplot2)
ggplot(mpg, aes(displ, cty)) + geom_point() + 
facet_grid(. ~ cyl) +coord_flip() +
scale_y_continuous(position="right")

enter image description here

Is it possible to place individual tick marks scales under the denotations of facets?

How about pushing the facet panel to the bottom?

library(ggplot2)
ggplot(mpg, aes(displ, cty)) + geom_point() + 
    facet_grid(. ~ cyl, switch='x') +coord_flip() +
    scale_y_continuous(position="right")
