Meanwhile I checked the code a bit. I think failure happens at
storage/innobase/os/os0proc.cc:150

ptr = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | OS_MAP_ANON, -1,
0);
if (UNIV_UNLIKELY(ptr == (void *)-1)) {
ib::error(ER_IB_MSG_856) << "mmap(" << size
<< " bytes) failed;"
" errno "
<< errno;
ptr = NULL;
}

I wrote a test program with same code, which will mmap 1GB chunks. That always fails at around 130 GB. mysqld also fails around that range. This problem could be related to the OS too. But I am not sure what it is.
