    For the detailed information (register, table formats, etc....) you will need the ARM Architecture Reference Manual, Rev C or C.b.  You can get this from the documentation section of ARM's website (called infocenter).
    For the basic concept...In ARMv7 ( and earlier) addresses as used by code are called virtual addresses (VA)  and are always 32-bit. LPAE allows these 32-bit VAs to be translated into physical addresses that ate up to 40 bits long
